The buildings and their contents collapsed into the sinkhole. Amazingly, there were no casualties from the incident, due to the actions of builders who, seeing the land beginning to subside, quickly helped evacuate the area

The area is seen cordoned off after a second cave-in. According to Xinhua News Agency, the subsidence area, about 10m deep, extended to about 100sqm. The area first caved in on Monday and resulted in buildings collapsing. It was filled up to ground level but sunk in again on Tuesday morning
